Carbon strategy

Designing for true net-zero living.

Our approach targets both embodied carbon and operational emissions, ensuring homes stay efficient long after construction ends.

Lifecycle thinkingPassive-firstMaterial transparency

Embodied Carbon

We replace high-carbon materials with CSEB, lime-based plasters, bamboo, and locally sourced stone. Structural choices reduce cement and steel while improving thermal performance.

  • Material audits before design finalization
  • Local sourcing to cut transport emissions
  • Design for long service life and reuse

Operational Carbon

Passive cooling and daylighting form the base layer, with automation and renewables reducing daily energy demand.

  • Optimized orientation, shading, and ventilation
  • Smart controls for lighting, HVAC, and pumps
  • Ready for solar, battery, and rainwater systems

Beyond Carbon

Water Resilience

Percolation zones, rainwater harvesting, and efficient fixtures cut demand on municipal supply.

Waste-Lite Construction

Modular planning, prefabricated bamboo elements, and on-site reuse keep waste minimal.

Landscape Ecology

Native planting and porous surfaces reduce heat islands and create cooler microclimates.
